Mick im pretty sure ive seen similar wasps featured in the link , the one i saw was about as long as your index finger and bright orange with black strips ,couldnt find any id googleing around . Around the end of summer they are very active here along with other species , i often see the end results of battles but that was the first time ive seen the actual contest . Remember also seeing a little black wasp dragging a big redback along the outside patio pavers to some sand and digging a burrow/nest ahhhh amazing how in the natural world size sometimes doesnt matter .
Fringey thats creepy with the huntsman , we get heaps here and ill admit i just about faint within a few metres of the buggers . Going down a 4wd track once going home after a nights viewing i drove the car through a huge web that spanned the track and a spider hit the windscreen in line with my face, seeing it crawl up the glass was pretty uncomfortable and i was nt stopping to check if it was off the roof ....let the highway speeds do that ....well i hoped anyway.
